Dearest Mother and Dad

In "The Forgotten War," author Christina Thompson draws on her father's letters from the Korean War to illuminate the experiences of Navy corpsmen Orrin Connor and Rawley Armstrong. While Orrin shields his parents from the harsh realities of battle, Rawley provides his sister with the unfiltered truth, leading to a profound yet conflicting friendship as they navigate the trials of war. Through their correspondence, the narrative explores themes of sacrifice, healing, and the weight of choices made in desperate times, all while honoring the service of those who fought.
